[recollecters]

What's up, users! We've mostly fixed the technical problems we were having earlier (unless Danny missed something again) but you might want to wear green. Also, I'm supposed to make a vague and mysterious informational post here but that sounded boring so I made a video presentation instead! Watch on YouTube Cheers! Jim Halloway Research & Development Retrspec Incorporated As of this post all apples, oranges, lemons, and limes have been replaced in-universe as the silly dancing fruits shown above. This means that as with Chocobos all NPCs will insist this is how things have always been and history/movies/etc will back them up. In honor of St. Patrick's Day characters will find a request from Retrospec to upload a picture of themselves to the network in which they are wearing something green. They will find themselves shocked lightly by their device if they try to use it without complying. Rude? A non-triggered memory regain can be earned through participation in this post in honor of Lucy's birthday the holiday with proof of a single thread with at least five comments from your character. If you plan to redeem this, please submit it to our regains page with the explanation of "March freebie". This must be submitted before April to be valid! Regardless of whether or not a character earns the freebie, all characters will find a gold coin with the Retrospec logo on one side and a Chocobo on the other. On the outside edge of the coin they will find "Jim, put a meaningful quote here. - Janet" engraved in a beautiful font. The Chocobo will morph into a horse should your character obtain the memory regain from the event; it will stay a Chocobo if your character does not obtain the memory regain. Please see our OOC information post HERE for some information and reminders - you can direct any questions about this post there! Please feel free to use this post as a network mingle. Every toplevel can be considered a new post, and threadjacking is permitted. No NPC response will be given. Usernames are the character's full real AU names, not aliases or chosen nicknames or usernames, and seemed to have filled themselves in; nothing characters do can change or obscure their names currently.

Ranko Kanzaki i'm not...a cool dad......
Ranko Kanzaki No! Rather, I prefer to think of myself as a midnight maiden, whose dark wings fly free of any parental constraints!

[ pause for emphasis... ]

Ranko Kanzaki I very much hope I do not have to wear this garment for all eternity to avoid that...cursed lightning.

[true_noir]

Because those are now apples, oranges, lemons and limes, and if you ask anyone who does not have the app, they will think you are crazy for not remembering this.

I have good news, though. Bananas are safe.

[Ilia might not be able to physically see it, but the message was dripping with sarcasm right now.]

hAVEN'T TRIED STRAWBERRIES YET... i SHOULD.

[true_noir]

Karkat. We don't know each other well, but after all that tirade, I must ask you this.

Do you truly, in your heart of hearts, believe we have reached the summit? Becaue I do not. There is more stupidity to come.

[true_noir]

Strawberries appear to be fine. And you must post a picture with something green on. It is acting up again.

[rednerd]

No, but those are the kinds of faces that will haunt your dreams.

[rednerd]

Listen, I don't even want to eat crab when they put it back in the shell, and it's looking at you while you eat it.

My meat already has a face. I don't want my fruit to have any, too.

[rednerd]

I just don't want fruit to be singing and dancing all the way back from the grocery store.
What the hell is going on?

[appraiser]

at least they're smiling and dancing? it'll be a good dream!

yells i'm laughing holy crap

[appraiser]

Ryoji Mochizuki that's the first lemon i've seen that *isn't* smiling
Ryoji Mochizuki how did it taste?

[rednerd]

It's fine. They'll just bury our corpses under the Irish step-dance of the same fruit that sent us to our graves.

[rednerd]

[Somewhere, Tim looks at the camera like he's on The Office.]

Look, you can swallow the blue pill however many times you'd like.
This isn't normal. Dancing fruit isn't normal!

[godcards]

I am not. You're being unreasonable and calling me names.

Were the horses your fault too? Are you trying to admit you are the cause of these happenings? I have to admit, I didn't think you were that kind of person. The fruit were enough on their own, but...

[ :) ]

[appraiser]

"normal" is subjective... if it's defined by the majority, most people in the city seem to think it's normal?
my mother is eating an apple right now with no second thought
it has half a face left and is still smiling on

[katsudonfatale]

Yuuri Katsuki shared a photo. 3/17 near Dance!!! Studio

Well, now that song is ruined forever Along with many other things

[godcards]

I have to wonder, if all types of fruit shown are affected. Blood oranges could take on a very different meaning...

As for the faces, I believe the peel is the only part that has features. Strip it off and should no longer be smiling.

[ I am so sorry. ]

[alienates]

Of course not.
Don't take my metaphors too literally.

[godcards]

Yet you laugh about it. All right. I suppose that's better than the rest of the complaining that I'm seeing...

[godcards]

Then don't. No one is forcing you to.

I admit that it is disturbing, but it's not like you're without alternatives.

[true_noir]

Oh good. For a moment, I was afraid that you had become unduly hopeful and optimistic in the face of this insanity.

[alienates]

Perhaps that's how they're grown?
They get their nutrients from our decaying bodies and it turns them into My Little Frankenstein.
